I knew that Connor needed to get some rest, but it was important for them to get to this pack to find these children that were in need. The pack was 8 hours away and Connor insisted on getting some rest in the car on the way there. I was fine with that. Just so long as he did, because I didn’t want him to have an accident while he was fighting in that pack. If it came to that. It would have been ideal if they could get in there without anyone seeing them, but that was very unlikely. While Connor was packing his bag, I could feel his worry and tension as he was trying to concentrate on what he needed to do. But I knew that he wasn’t worried about himself anymore. “You don’t need to worry about me.” I said. And he looked up at me in confusion. “How did you know that I was worried about you?” He asked. “I just did. You’ve already got 12 warriors on 24 hour surveillance of the house and they are in groups of 6 and they all have 12 hour shifts each. Nothing will get through the
I stood there looking at the shadow ghostly figure that was standing across my kitchen, trying to make sense of what I was looking at. “What are you?” I asked. “I was sent here by the black witch. She says that you can’t hide.” He said. “Then why isn’t she here to tell me that?” I asked. “Because you’re surrounded by werewolves.” He said. “Bullshit. That didn’t stop her last time. She doesn’t know where I am.” I said. “She will find you. She will always find you. As long as you have the power, she will find that power.” He said. “That’s how she sent you here. She’s picking up on my power and using that against me. But she doesn’t actually know where I am.” I said, more to myself than to the creature. “Shut up. She will always find you.” “Are you speaking for this ghost, black witch?” I asked. “Of course I am.” He said. “Well, good luck. You couldn’t grab me last time. You barely even hurt me.” “That was before I knew what you could do. I will be better prepared
As the warriors stood on, watching helplessly, I managed to gather enough strength to get back to my feet and the ghost stopped smiling at me and I looked straight in his face and I mustered up whatever energy I could and the bright light got even brighter until it started screeching and finally let go of me and it was dragged from the house again. The light quickly disappeared and I collapsed to the ground when it was over and the warriors ran over to me. One of them pulled my hair out of the way to see my chest and there was a burn mark of a handprint on my chest, and I could tell that they didn’t know what to do. Leo soon arrived at the house after they had mind linked him and I asked him to just help me get back to bed. There was nothing that they could do about it. “What was that thing trying to do?” Leo asked as I got back into bed. “I don’t know. He wanted to hurt me, that’s for sure. But I don’t know what he wanted to do.” I said. “Alright. Well, you need to rest.
I hung up the phone and I looked at Connor who was standing in the living room looking at me really confused while holding his bag. “Who’s Nathan?” He asked again. “He’s the son of one of my dad’s Alpha friends.” I said. “And doesn’t he think that you’re dead?” Connor asked. “No. Nathan and his father know that I’m alive. Because my dad tried to arrange a marriage between me and Nathan.” I said. “You were engaged to him?” Connor asked, his eyes flickering from black and then back to their normal blue. “I guess you can call it that. I wouldn’t even say that. It was an agreement that our father’s made. Nathan wanted to because it was easier than finding a mate and he’s just as sadistic as everyone else. I didn’t want anything to do with it. I swear. Nathan was just looking for his own personal punching bag.” I said. And Connor looked at me curiously. “Did Nathan ever actually hit you?” He asked. “Yeah. He did. The first time we met. Dad left us in the attic to get to kno
As everyone was staring at me, I couldn’t help but wonder what the hell they were going to warn them about. I hadn’t done anything wrong. I certainly hadn’t done anything wrong to Connor or his pack. What were they talking about? “Why the hell would you need to warn us about my mate?” Connor growled at them. “She’s going to bring this territory nothing but trouble.” The man in the front said. “Who the hell are you?” Connor asked. “Alpha Joshua. And these are my men, Eli, Everett and Jose. We’re from the Blue River Pack.” He announced. “The Blue River Pack is located 2 hours north of here. What the hell are you doing involving yourself in our business?” Connor asked, walking down the stairs. “We like to know what’s going on near our pack. And what dangers are possibly hanging around. And that girl up there, is the biggest danger that we have ever seen.” Alpha Joshua said. “She’s my mate. So if you want to keep your tongue, I suggest you watch what you fucking say.” Connor
I was really interested to know what that pack had against me. I mean, we were far enough away from each other so that they weren’t going to get pulled into any of our problems. And they could turn a blind eye if they wanted to. We weren’t asking for their help and Connor would never do that anyway. He was the Alpha of the Protectors. He would be the last person to ask for help. After breakfast Connor left the house to go and see Alpha Joshua while I cleaned the kitchen and I was really curious about what was going on. I could see Connor disappear into the woods behind our house but that was as far as I could see. The border was a lot further through the woods, and Alpha Joshua wasn’t coming near the border. So, Connor would have to walk out there a fair way before he found him. I was getting really nervous in the house, waiting for Connor to come back, so I went to the training field that was behind our house and that no one was allowed to go near. Connor told everyone that i
When I got upstairs, I went into the bathroom and I put my hand under the running water to wash away the blood. Connor came to the doorway and he saw what I was doing and he looked really concerned. He had no idea what was going on and why I smashed that glass. “Aurora. Talk to me.” He said. “I’m sorry. It’s nothing.” I said, trying to hold back the tears. “It is something. Tell me.” He said walking into the room and helping me with my hand. “Memories just appear to me sometimes. I don’t want them to. They just do.” I said. “Alright. What the hell made you smash that glass.” He said. “Nathan.” I said. And Connor nodded his head in understanding. He bandaged up my hand, but we knew that those cuts would be gone shortly. They weren’t going to be there for very long. Connor got me to go back downstairs with him to have something to eat. I needed to keep up my strength if we were going to keep training like this every day. So I had something to eat but I was pretty qui
CONNOR POV As soon as the light died down I came to my senses and I looked up at my demolished house and the smoke was still clearing. I wiped the rain out of my face to try and see properly and I was sure that Aurora was dead. How could anyone survive that? But then I saw a figure appear from the dust, she was slowly walking across the rubble, finding her way out of the house and she stopped at the front of the house to look at me. “Connor.” She whimpered out. I ran straight to her and she collapsed in my arms and I sat down on the ground with her head resting on me. Leo had medical experience so he ran over and started checking her over. She didn’t have a scratch on her, she didn’t seem to be injured in any way. So what the hell is going on. “All of her vitals are really strong.” Leo said. “Then why did she collapse?” I asked. “More importantly, how the hell is she still alive?” Thomas asked. I looked around at the pack and my house was the only one that was hit by
